Orthotics at ChiroActive
If you have abnormal wear patterns on your shoes or pain in your feet, you may benefit from custom-made orthotics at ChiroActive.
We offer a complimentary computerized gait scan to all new patients. Dr. Trina and Dr. Brian provide this service on your first visit at our office. With a deep understanding of the biomechanics in your feet, we know how they can affect the rest of the body, all the way up to your hips and back. Often, spinal problems can be related to your feet, and our gait scan technology will assess your needs.
Orthotic Technology
ChiroActive uses the most up to date, state of the art technology when manufacturing your NEW custom-made Orthotics.
We use the power of mobile scanning on an iPad device powered by a 3D Sensor technology. The system is lightweight, easy to use, environmentally friendly and provides true, reproducible 3D cast profiles.
3D Laser
Our laser 3D scanner uses industry leading technology to provide you with a portable, quick, and easy way to capture 3D scans/casts of your foot. The Orthotic Group (TOG) and Atlas footwear use 100% volumetric casts and cast data captured from our 3D Laser Scanner.
Production of all custom foot orthotics is carried out using 3D casts to vacuum form raw materials to produce the prescribed shell of the patient’s requirements.
In addition, the 3D scanner replaces the need for foam boxes and plaster as the 3D Scan rendition of the patient’s feet which is needed to meet insurance requirements in most Canadian jurisdictions.
Biomechanical Gait Analysis
For the Biomechanical Gait Analysis, we use the Gaitscan Technology along with specific measurements done by the chiropractor.
Gaining a Stronger Foundation
Orthotics have been heavily researched and shown to benefit conditions like plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia (ball-of-the-foot pain) or anyone who could use more support for their feet. They can fit into many different types of regular shoes, giving you the extra support you need.
We’ve worked with all insurance companies and understand how to complete the necessary paperwork to claim your orthotics. Some companies can be directly billed, and others can be directly submitted. Contact us today to find out more!
